Alec BaldwinAfter his divorce from actress Kim Basinger in late 2000, Alec Baldwin claimed his ex was alienating him from the couple’s young daughter Ireland Baldwin. Years of contention came to a head in April 2007 when Ireland supposedly missed an arranged phone call from her father. And angry Alec left a now infamous voicemail in which he called his 12-year-old a “rude, thoughtless little pig.” The actor has since expressed remorse for his choice of words and admitted he considered suicide after the audio went public. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Jason Kempin/Getty)

Duane 'Dog' Chap...A&E reality star Duane “Dog” Chapman was bounced from television due to the fallout from a 2007 phone call to his son Tucker. The recorded conversation captured Chapman expressing frustration that Tucker was in a relationship with an African-American girl. Why? During the call, “Dog” admitted that he and the family use the N-word, and explained he didn’t want the young woman going public with his slurs and ruining their career. Shortly after the phone call was released, “Dog the Bounty Hunter” was put on hiatus. The show returned to production several months later, but the damage to the family’s reputation had already been done. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty)

Mel GibsonMel Gibson made a series of epic mistakes in 2010 when he left several angry voicemails for his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, who is the mother of his daughter Lucia. One of the volcanic, curse-filled diatribes, in which Gibson angrily insulted Grigorieva’s body, called her an “embarrassment” and said her manner of dress invited rape, became tabloid fodder for months. In another voicemail, a panting Gibson threatens to put Grigorieva “in the rose garden.” His career still hasn’t recovered. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty)

Pat O'BrienIn early 2005, former “Access Hollywood” anchor Pat O’Brien left a series of embarrassing and sexually explicit voice messages for a still-unknown female acquaintance of the celeb. In the messages, O’Brien repeatedly and aggressively expressed a desire for sexual intercourse with the woman, often suggesting that his girlfriend Betsy Hoyt Stephens be involved, and once proposed they do cocaine together. Just as the voicemails leaked on the internet, O’Brien entered rehab for alcoholism. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty)

Scott Van PeltWhen it comes to innocently embarrassing phone calls, it doesn’t get much better than ESPN “Sportscenter” anchor Scott Van Pelt's 2006 recording. Like a nervous junior high student, Van Pelt was captured leaving a nervous, rambling, self-loathing voice message for a young woman he met at a bar in Dewey Beach. After telling the girl that she meets all of his criteria, Van Pelt backtracks and says, “As if I really should even have a checklist… If you have four limbs, and you don’t have Bell’s palsy and a clubbed foot, I probably outta be real, like, just signin’ up.” Way to play it cool, Scott. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Rick Wilson/Getty)

Terrence HowardIn 2011, the internet was abuzz with word that “Hustle & Flow” star Terrence Howard had left a threatening voicemail for a total stranger. Sure enough, audio soon followed, in which the actor identifies himself before angrily saying, “You been calling my wife… If you call my wife again, I’m going to come to your house and I’m going to cut your [expletive] throat. Understand that. I’m gonna tell you this one time. You call my wife again, I’m going to kill you.” As it turns out, the recipient of the threats had called Howard’s now-ex-wife Michelle Ghent, but had intended to prank call the actor on his phone instead. Reflecting on his irrational response to the prank, Howard called back and was recorded saying, “I’m so sorry for calling you and speaking that way. I thought you were somebody that’s been harassing my wife. Please forgive me." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty)

Tiger WoodsAs the great Tiger Woods cheating scandal of 2009 began to build, a voicemail from the all-star golfer to his 24-year-old mistress Jaimee Grubbs quickly surfaced. In the recording, a panicky Tiger asks the cocktail waitress to remove her name from her outgoing voicemail message. “My wife went through my phone and, uh, may be calling you,” Woods said. “If you can please take your name off that and… just have it as a number on the voicemail, just have it as your telephone number. That’s it. Ok. You gotta do this for me. Huge. Quickly.” The rest was history. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Warren Little/Getty)

Young BuckIn 2008, former G-Unit rapper Young Buck dissed the group’s head honcho 50 Cent during a show. Shortly after, an admittedly “confused” Young Buck called 50 to apologize for the slam, as well as for not paying back money he owed, before breaking down and crying. 50 assured Young Buck that everything would be OK and to “not worry,” but then posted the recorded phone call on his website for the world to hear. There’s no crying in hip-hop! —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty)
